Ben Whishaw Is Q In Skyfall

The 23rd film in the James Bond franchise hits theaters next year, and the cast will boast a brand new Q – played by Ben Whishaw.

Director Sam Mendes has brought Whishaw on to re-invent the timeless character. Although Whishaw is younger than fans of the franchise might have expected, his performances in projects such as Bright Star, Perfume, and Layer Cake make him a great addition to the film and a solid fit for the iconic role.

Until recently, the studio has been keeping tight-lipped on Whishaw’s role in the project, but they have now confirmed rumors that he will take on the classic character. The return of Q means that some more light additions to the plot may be in store, an element that has been missing from the last two takes of Bond.
